OCEANS

hold on to the thread
the currents will shift
glide me towards...
you know something's left
and we're all allowed
to dream of the next
of the next time we touch...
you don't have to stray
the oceans away
waves roll in my thoughts
hold tight the ring...
the sea will rise...
please stand by the shore...
i will be... i will be there once more...




WHY GO [LIVE]

she scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she does
it's been two years and counting since they put her in this place
she's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck and mommy agrees
whoa yeah
why go home?
why go home?
why go home?
she seems to be stronger but what they want her to be is weak
she could play pretend she could join the game, boy
she could be another clone ooh yeah
now why go home?
now why go home?
now why go home?
now why go home?
what you taught me...
put me here...
don't come visit mother
why go home?
why go home?
why go home?
why go home?
what you taught me...
put me here...
don't come visit mother, mother, yeah
why go home?




DEEP [LIVE]
[Vedder - Gossard - Ament] 

stick it deep stick the people this is deep
on the edge, a windowsill
ponders his maker, ponders his will
to the street below, he just ain't nothin'
but he's got a great view and he sinks the needle deep
yeah can't touch the bottom
in too deep yeah can't touch the bottom
ooh on the edge of a know nothin' town
feelin' quite superior, the age had come
to the sky above, he just ain't nothin'
but he's got a great view and he sinks the burning mask deep
wow can't touch the bottom
in too deep yeah
can't touch the bottom
in too deep
on the edge of a Christmas clean love
young virgin from heaven, oh visiting hell
to the man above her she just ain't nothin'
and she doesn't like the view

but he sinks himself deep
yeah can't touch the bottom
in too deep yeah oh

deep yeah oh yeah
